Dr. Peter T. Flawn
Dr. Peter T. Flawn has asked E.
D. Walker, President of The University of Texas System, to relieve him
of administrative duties as UTSA
President effective Jan. 1.
Dr. Flawn has requested return
to full-time status as Professor of
Geological Sciences and Public Affairs at The University of Texas at
Austin.
"This is wholly a professional
decision," Dr. Flawn said."There are
currently many important issues in
the field of geology and public
policy and I would like to participate in them."
He noted, "The five years I have
spent as President of UTSA have
been one of the great experiences
of my life and I shall always value
the friendships I have made in San
Antonio."
Walker commented, "Dr. Flawn
asked me in October, 1976, to step
down as President of UTSA so he
could return to full-time teaching
and research. I asked Dr. Flawn to
defer a decision on this matter until
after the 1977 Legislative session,
scheduled to convene in approximately two months, since I felt it
Flawn
Post
would be in the best interest of the
institution for him to remain
through the session.
"Dr. Flawn has done an outstanding job in guiding UTSA
through its most difficult and formative years. He has demonstrated
his ability as an outstanding administrator and academic leader of national rank who will be sorely
missed, not only by UTSA but the
whole University System.
"Even though he will be leaving
our administrative organization, we
are indeed fortunate that he will
remain in the University System
and continue his outstanding teaching and research career."
Dr. Flawn was named President
of UTSA in 1973. He brought
together an outstanding faculty and
opened the University's graduate
and undergraduate programs. The
University has grown from 634
students, who attended classes in
temporary facilities in summer,
1973, to 7,849 students and a $60
million campus.
Dr. Flawn joined UT Austin in
1949 as a research scientist. He
